How tourism is destroying Malham?
1)The big problem for the Park Authority is that as more people come to value the idea of “getting away from it all” the more the peace, solitude and unspoiled nature of the “countryside” are in danger of being damaged by the ever larger numbers of people seeking them!

Another reason why
2)
when most people visit the park is a problem. The National Park car park in Malham has space for 105 cars and 8 coaches although at busy times there are no spaces left and visitors park on the grass verges, along the main street and sometimes in passing places causing problems for traffic flow and safety.

3)Other problems occur when people
get out of their cars too! The sheer
number of feet tramping along popular
footpaths causes lots of wear and
tear, as unprotected surfaces become muddy and people trample a wider area in order to avoid getting wet.

4)Litter also causes lots of problems. Since 1984 there have been no litter bins anywhere inside the National Park and visitors are asked to take their rubbish home with them as the cost of emptying them and transporting the rubbish is high. The policy has dramatically reduced the litter problem in and around Malham yet some litter is still to be seen on well used walking routes (and down the grykes in the Limestone Pavement)

How tourism is being managed
In order to make sure that visitors had as little negative impact upon the landscape as possible, facilities were put in place to accommodate, welcome and manage them, without limiting their options. For instance, parking in the National Park car park for up to 1 hour costs £1 but staying all day costs just £2 – thereby encouraging visitors to stay longer, giving them chance to go for a walk and maybe stop for refreshments in one of the many cafes or pubs on their-way back!
Suggestions
1) make the car park bigger so more people get to park in the bay instead of on the grass but it is destroying the nature,so maybe leave it as it is or make parking spaces on the road somewhere

Suggestion 2
Litter,have bins around the park so the visitors don't take it home and sometimes even drop it,put the bins at the entrance and exit of the park so they through there rubbish in the bin at the end of a day.
Tourist attraction
Malham cove
Standing some 80 metres high and 300 metres wide and north of the mid craven fault, Malham Cove is a curved limestone formed after the last ice age.
The cove can be climbed , and steps have been cut in to the rock to the left of the cove - a climb up though gives magnificent views of the area and here you will find a limestone pavement .

Malham Tarn
is a glacial lake near Malham. It is 377 metres (1,237 ft) above sea level, making it the highest lake in England. The lake is one of only eight upland alkaline lakes in Europe. flora and fauna have led to it being listed under a number of conservation designations
Untitled Slide
Malham Cove would once have been the highest waterfall in England, the limestone pavement at it's top would have been worn into the patterns that we see today by a huge amount of Glacial melt water cascading over it and off the edge of the cove into the valley below. It must have been a fantastic sight all those thousands of years ago.
The story is that Janet was the queen of the local fairies who lived in a cave behind the fall. Calcite from Gordale Beck has deposited itself on the moss surrounding the fall and has formed an apron over which the foss flows.
